After only one session Pablo saw his sister miraculously heal .Struck by the curandera powers Pablo decides to learn the sacred science of Vegitalismo .
On the same night he took Ayahuasca and began his journey to the spiritual realm .
He continued a series of Ayahuasca sessions and diets . After a month or so he gain the powers of the Mother plant . He discovered that he can sing chants without ever learning them .Whit his new powers he started helping people . One of his first patient as a curandera was a young woman with severe headache which he personally felt during the healing session . Unlike his shaman colleagues , he didn’t needed to take Ayahuasca to identify the patient’s problem . He was feeling their problems and their emotions . Maestro Amaringo began traveling in Peru and helping people .
Encouraged by his employer he started painting for his own pleasure .
